16. Crescent Island
Chapter 16:
Zhang Jin only stayed in the hotel for one day, and at ten o'clock the next night, he was wrapped in a blanket by Dongfang Yao and hugged away from the hotel. Although he really wanted to go by himself, the injuries on his body didn't seem to be very strict, but it may have not eased up, and he was always sour and weak.
On the day he arrived at the so-called Oriental Villa, Zhang Jin didn't know where he was until the next morning when he sat by the window and read the English version of "Sherlock Holmes" that Dongfang Yao had found. It turned out that this Oriental Villa was the Crescent Island under construction opposite their school.
Xinyuezhou, a tributary of the Yangtze River flowing through Beijin City, Qingjiang River, and the city's Xiaoqing River, surrounded by water, half of the mountains towering, a total area of more than 60 square kilometers of small islands in the river. It is known as the pearl of the Qingjiang River and the largest island of the Yangtze River. Because of its three faces, southwest, west and northwest, it is a continuous mountain range with an average height of 60 meters, like a crescent moon facing east.
In the many historical materials of Beijin City, many ancient masters who have traveled through this place are praised endlessly, among which the most famous poem "There is a continent in the vast river, and the continent is like the moon and the water circulation", which is still sung by people.
But is Crescent Island beautiful? As an authentic earthen bun, Zhang Jin feels that it is a mountain by the river, and the mountain is still bare, with only thatch and shrubs, and there is not even a single wood that can be used for a while, what is the beauty of such a place?
In this school, many students who are in love with each other like to skip class and go to the river beach to enjoy the scenery of Crescent Island! In his opinion, those people are just idle eggs.
However, when I was in my first year of high school, I heard many seniors say that there are a lot of wild ducks on the island, and some students with poor grades in school will go to the island to dig birds' nests if they have nothing to do, and they can harvest a lot casually, which makes Zhang Jin itch for a long time.
However, these could not be realized three months after the start of the first year of high school, because Crescent Island was developed. I heard that he is still a very rich big boss from out of town. It has invested many billions of yuan, intending to turn this desert island into a large-scale resort and amusement place integrating entertainment, tourism and leisure.
Zhang Jin once took advantage of the school vacation when he was just in high school, and went to the river beach behind the school to see the Crescent Island. The result was naturally disappointing, in his eyes, the barren grass was all over the sky, and the mountains near the river were all irregular rocky cliffs, and the mountains on their side were not as tall and majestic as the mountains on their side.
He really can't see anything good to see in such a place, and it is worth the rich bosses from other places to come and develop it.
It wasn't until the third day of living in the villa that he went to the living room to get the English-Chinese dictionary that Dongfang Yao had prepared for him, and saw a map of the construction layout of Xinyue Island that he put on the coffee table, that he suddenly understood that this place was not just a barren grass! There are also primitive painted caves, as well as strange caves and waterfalls.
Wait, seeing the cave and the waterfall, Zhang Jin suddenly thought of something, to be exact, a strange picture appeared in his mind again.
This time, the picture was not even worse than the last time I saw Dongfang Yao dying, because there were too many dead people in the picture, including many students who were said to be from their sixth middle school......
However, the picture shows that the time for this to happen is next year!
"Zhang Jin, it's time to eat. With the sound of leather shoes rubbing against the marble floor, Dongfang Yao walked in from outside with a tray.
Zhang Jin didn't have time to respond, because the last terrifying picture he saw when he reacted made him tremble. Then the whole person was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Dongfang Yao put the tray in his hand on the coffee table, took the things in Zhang Jin's hand with a suspicious expression, and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he looked at the person with a frightened and sluggish face, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Jin looked at Dongfang Yao stupidly, although the picture flowing in his mind stopped, but the sequelae left by the last picture still lingered. So he still can't control his feelings for a long time.
"Zhang Jin. Dongfang Yao screamed softly again and reached out to support the other party's shoulder.
The warmth on his shoulders made Zhang Jin shiver several times before he came back to his senses.
Zhang Jin, who came back to his senses, nervously looked at Dongfang Yaohe for a moment, and finally looked away in embarrassment.
"Yao, Brother Yao......"
"Hmm. Dongfang Yao nodded, hiding the doubts in his eyes when he lowered his head, and when he looked up again, it was a spring breeze on his face, "It's dinner, not porridge." ”
"Uh, oh!" Zhang Jin responded, and then thought of what the other party meant by this, and his face turned red unconsciously.
When he woke up from a coma, he had already eaten porridge for three days, and no matter how good the hotel was, in terms of cooking porridge, Zhang Jin felt that it was not as delicious as cooking it in a big iron pot at home. Especially those that either put fungus, white fungus, sugar, or some messy preserved eggs, porridge or fish and other porridge.
Forgive Zhang Jin, a dirt bun who has never seen the world, he really can't stand those rich porridges. Although it may be that the chef of the hotel did not dare to exert himself vigorously after explaining! Although someone has also heard that in the south, porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork is the most delicious porridge, but it is porridge with some strange smell. Zhang Jin felt that he was really unaccustomed to eating, so he barely ate it, and that was also because he was a young man, and he ate those three bowls of porridge a day, and if he didn't eat it, he was hungry!
However, every time he eats and sees those good-looking porridges, he misses the porridge at home, especially the thick porridge at home, which is warmed and added with sesame oil and salt.
This morning, it is estimated that Dongfang Yao felt that Zhang Jin's body had improved a lot, so he added an extra vegetarian crystal dumpling, and naturally Zhang Jin selectively forgot about the bowl of porridge next to him.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Yao still didn't understand. So at noon, the daily porridge was replaced with a few kinds of stir-fried vegetables and steamed rice.
"The doctor said that from today onwards, you can slowly return to eating and drinking. Dongfang Yao put on a simple three dishes and one soup, "If you have anything you like to eat, you can tell me, and I will let the hotel deliver it." ”
"No, no. Zhang Jin smiled detachedly and politely, "Don't be so troublesome, I can eat whatever I want." Thinking of the kitchen here, he added, "I, when I was out before, I also used the gas stove, and I can also make it myself." ”
"Just do it yourself. Dongfang Yao set the dishes and chopsticks, and while sitting down, he beckoned Zhang Jin to sit down as well, "Hurry up and sit down." You're just right, and you have to learn every day. Besides, no one has used the kitchen, and it is very troublesome to sort it out. The hotel's chefs are also local, so if you are not used to eating outside food, let them cook home-cooked dishes with a local taste. ”
"......" Zhang Jin didn't know how to answer, so he saw Dongfang Yao hand over the prepared meal and quickly and obediently took it.
Dongfang Yao served his own meal, but he stopped talking when he saw Zhang Jin's face.
"Something?"
"I, I, I'm fine now, can I ......"
"Want to go back?"
"Uh!" Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily. "Hmm. ”
Dongfang Yao took a chopstick from a tomato scrambled egg and handed it to Zhang Jin's bowl: "You can't eat too many dishes with condiments now, this tomato scrambled egg is okay, you can taste it." ”
"......" Zhang Jin blinked, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, and sure enough, after a bite, his appetite that had been lost for several days was instantly opened.
"Have you ever thought about what university you will go to in the future? Dongfang Yao saw Zhang Jin's eyebrows and eyes stretched, and gave him a chopstick to boil water cabbage, "This is a good dish, try it too." ”
Zhang Jin looked at the cabbage in the bowl, and at first glance it was very bland, and said in his heart: This is boiled in boiling water, right?
It's just that it was Dongfang Yao who came over, so he ate it seriously. The fresh aroma in his mouth made him can't help but eat it in large gulps.
"How?"
"Well, it's delicious!" A bite of cabbage not only suppressed the sour tomato scrambled eggs that had been eaten before, but also made Zhang Jin's taste sense of taste, which had been silent for many days, completely wake up.
"This is a famous dish, the name is very simple, it is called boiling water cabbage. I asked the doctor and you can eat it, but there are wounds on your body, so you can't eat more yet. ”
"Oh!" Zhang Jin saw that there were only a few cabbages on the plate, and said in his heart, I can't eat more if I want to! Who knows, just after thinking about it, I saw Dongfang Yao sandwich it all into his bowl with chopsticks.
One by one+! I don't even know what expression Zhang Jin has! This is too ......
"You haven't answered my question yet. While eating, Dongfang Yao did not forget to command Zhang Jin to watch him eat.
Helplessly, Zhang Jin, an honest child, couldn't understand it, so he could only watch the other party eat the seemingly boiled cabbage three times and five times, it was simply a tyrannical thing!
The cabbage disappeared in front of him, and Zhang Jin remembered that this person had introduced him, saying that he had just come out of the army, and his living habits had not changed, so he was very fast at eating!
Glancing at the two dishes and one soup left on the table in an instant, Zhang Jin quickly stretched out his chopsticks and said while picking up the dishes: "I don't have anything to think about, my grandfather wants me to go to medical university." ”
"Your grandfather, is it grandfather?" Dongfang Yao said as he spoke, and gave half of the other broccoli fried Chiba.
It's simply ......
"Hmm. Zhang Jin responded, and the picture he saw made his heart choked to death.
What about taking care of the sick? This person is too uncompromising. This kind of behavior, in his family, will definitely knock his grandfather on the head.
Dongfang Yao didn't seem to realize it, at the same time as the three bowls of rice went down, the dishes on the table also went down by at least two-thirds, and when he had the fourth bowl of rice, he began to attack the bowl of soup!
And Zhang Jin had just finished eating the first bowl of rice at this time.
"It's a good choice to go to medical university, but when you graduate, I'm afraid there will be no assignment. When he said this, Dongfang Yao was already drinking soup, which was his fifth bowl of rice.
Zhang Jin was stunned and instinctively asked, "Why?"
Dongfang Yao said with a smile: "The world is not developing every minute and every second, and our country is the same. The development of the country must involve the economy, when the economy develops to a certain extent, all positions must be obtained through competition, which is called merit-based admission, and the same will be true for hospitals. ”
"Aren't hospitals stated?"
"Hospitals also need to survive, and it is only a matter of time before hospitals are commercialized. And with the development of China, the number of college students will gradually increase, and by the time you graduate from university, I am afraid that at least two-thirds of all students who come out of medical universities will not be hired. ”
"How could it be!" Two-thirds of college students don't get in! It's too .......
"How many students do you think there are in our country right now?"
Zhang Jin shook his head.
Dongfang Yao continued: "I don't know either. But I know that when the hospital is commercialized, the first person the hospital admits must be those who are excellent in school, or returnees, or graduate doctors. For example, if you go to the hospital to see a doctor, do you pay special attention to those doctors who have a high degree of education? Do you think that the hospital is responsible for you when they treat you? Of course, these are secondary, and the most important thing for you now is ......
"......" what?
"If your current grades are not improved, after more than a year, you can only go to a junior college, and it is difficult to go to a bachelor's degree in medicine. ”
When Dongfang Yao said this, he really didn't show mercy at all.
also made Zhang Jin, who was eating the second bowl of rice, suddenly unable to swallow.
When Zhang Jin completely put down the dishes and chopsticks, someone ate the sixth bowl unceremoniously, and he didn't even let go of the soup!
However, Zhang Jin was indifferent to this. Originally, the proudest thing in his heart was that he had a good grandfather, who let him understand medical knowledge early, and when he was admitted to medical universities in the future, he would definitely be outstanding than others, and then many hospitals would rush to ask for him.
But listening to Dongfang Yao's words, those predictable pictures appeared in his mind at the right time, and he really had no expectations for his future!
Dongfang Yao finished eating the sixth bowl of rice, and was finally satisfied, seeing Zhang Jin's preoccupied face and the unfinished half bowl of rice, he didn't feel guilty at all, and continued: "So, don't rush back to class now." I have inquired about the admission rate of the sixth high school, and the chance of getting you into a first-class medical university is only 20% or 30%. If you insist on going to a medical university, I will find someone to make up for you when I go back, and then you don't want to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and other medical universities will also go casually. ”
Not to mention that this is really tempting, Zhang Jin felt very depressed when he heard that there were only twenty or thirty percent of their school, and let him fulfill his grandfather's expectations. But when he heard Dongfang Yao's words, he didn't have any thoughts in his heart for a while, and even had the idea that as long as he could go to a good school, he didn't care about anything.
"One more thing. Dongfang Yao paused in the action of putting away the plates, and only said when Zhang Jin had seen it, "I inquired, and when many disciplines in the medical university are admitted, science students are preferentially admitted." You are now in the liberal arts, and you will lose a lot of opportunities when the time comes, so you will choose science instead. ”
"But, but......" His science is really poor, Zhang Jin is embarrassed to say, if he chooses to immediately estimate that he will not even be able to get into a junior college.
"No, but. Dongfang Yao's face was stunned, "If you don't have confidence, you can take a look first, let's make up for ten days of classes, and after ten days, you go to school to see if you can keep up with the science class, if not, and then continue the liberal arts, you should focus on making up the class, if you can, after the midterm exam, you can mention it to the school." ”
